Before the holiday became so commercialized, the traditional Christmas season (as opposed to the Christmas shopping season) began on Christmas Eve. We are currently in the season which is traditionally known as Advent.

We put our tree up on Christmas Eve, and we keep it up after Christmas for the traditional Twelve Days of Christmas, ending on January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany (the coming of the Magi).

I don't let department stores tell me when the Christmas season happens. Theirs ends when the traditional one begins.

@DrWatson maybe for the devout Christian but I have very early childhood memories of Christmas tree and outside decorations going up on thanksgiving weekend and coming down on New Years day. Dad did this because it is what his family did and that pretty much covers at least a century of tradition... long before the commercialization of Christmas.

@Ontheroad My parents did the same! I grew up that way as well.

@SW-User This is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay funny!

I have today off, and am finally decorating for Christmas. I feel a little grinch-like today, but I know I'll enjoy seeing the decorations up when I'm done. Plus the dog always gets so excited every year. Lol.

BarbossasHusband · 36-40, M

Guess I'm a Grinch then. I don't even own anything xmas besides my cats advent calendar (mom made it for her last year)

Ontheroad · M

@BarbossasHusband You don't have to go big, just a little cheerful spot at home makes a big difference, or it sure did for me.

BarbossasHusband · 36-40, M

@Ontheroad I prefer to be able to pretend it's not xmas when I'm at
home

Only to democrats ! 🤭😂
The house has been decorated for a couple weeks

Ontheroad · M

@TexChik Why is that not surprising! I think I knew if you saw the post you would have long ago decorated.

TexChik · F

@Ontheroad not long ago , we try to have it all done by Thanksgiving because we have so much family over .

OverTheHill · 56-60, M

Decorations are up, but still have not gotten a tree. Most likely will get one this weekend.

I never put up a tree at home, because I usually spend Christmas elsewhere. But this year I confess to being a Grinch because my mom’s in the hospital and none of us feel much like celebrating.

Ontheroad · M

@bijouxbroussard I totally get it and I hope the best for her, but maybe put up a tree or just something to honor mom?

Ontheroad · M

smiler2012 · 56-60

Ontheroad · M

@smiler2012 Cheers to you and yours!

SW-User

No but I have the perfectly decorated tree in my mind :)

PhoenixPhail · M

I'm a Grinchstein.
I stole Hanukkah. 🤣

Piper · 61-69, F

I guess so. Even when I put a tree and lights up, I never did it this early. I have a ceramic tree that that lights up, that I bought as a gift for my mom long ago. I'll likely bring that out in the next week or two, as I usually do. 🎄

I’m an enigma. I have all kinds of lights and trees and I’m excited, but the other part of me is completely dreading the nearer it draws.

saragoodtimes · F

BackyardShaman · 61-69, M

@Stereoguy maybe assist her and put it at the curb and put up at least a tree. I was really surprised by how doing a small tree this year brightened up my spirits.
